A Remarkable Fossil.

Professor II. G. Seeley exhibited the
most remarkable fossil which has ever
been found to the geologists. This fos-
sill showed the development of the young
of plesiosaurus. Until this fossil had
been found and forwarded to. him he had
sought throughout the collections of
Europe for evidence on that develop
ment, but without success. No incident
in the history of fossilization was more
singular than that which this specimen
displayed The fossil was series of
mummies of minute plesiosaurs, less than
five inches in length, which had the sub
stance of their flesh perfectly preserved
and their bones preserved within the
flesh. The remains showed different
conditions of development. This was
the only case that had ever occurred of
the naturalization of the muscular SUBJ
stance and the preservation.o of the exter-
nal form of these animals; and so perfect
was the preservation that the circle Of
the eye was preserved, and the constit-
uent bones could be distinguished. Pal

How Cigars Are Made.

The tobacco leaf is received at the
factory IN bales, and the first process is
to dampen or elbow" it for the strippers.
The strippers are usually girls, though
boys are employed also. They receive
the dampened tobacco leaves, and their
business is to strip the leaves from the
center stalk that runs through the middle
OF each leaf. This is done by hand, and
requires some dexterity, which can only
be acquaired by practice An expert
stripper earns 81. 25 a day, the less ex-
peri seventy-tive cents and 81. The stalks
are thrown into heap at one side, TO be
sold to the florists and gardeners for
fumigating purposes, and the leaves are
made up into bundles, to be distributed
among the cigarmakers at the various
benches.
Every day. each cigarmaker receives a
certain weight of tobacco leaves, out of
which he must make certain number of
cigars. From eight to fifteen pounds a
thousand, according to their size, is the
weight OF the ordinary sizes.
The tools of cigarmaker consist of a
square cutting board, a sharp knife, like
that used by shoemakers, aud a pot of
gum. Taking up some of the broken
leaf in his left hand, he rolls it up with
the right, either up OF down, according
as he has been taught. A Spanish cigar
maker always rolls it down, while a
German always rolls it up. This makes
the filler. The art of making the filler
consists in making the grain of the leaf
all one way, and so as to run from the
end of the cigar. Then the fire burns
with the grain, and the cigar is said TO
smoke well. When a smoker has a cigar
that won't draw, in all probability II VAS
made by novice, and the filler was ar
ranged, topsy-turvy, or against the
gran.
The filler being made, ordinary work.
men with ordinary cigars next put on a
binder, which is large smooth leaf, to
en'elop the filler, and then put on the
wrapper, narrow strip Of smooth leaf
rolled round and round obliquely toward
the top, and fastened there with a touch
OF gum. The Spanish workman making
the best quality of cigars puts the wrap
per around the filler without a binder.
When well made this proves TO be the
best cigar for smoking. A good work
man can make 1000 cigars a week,
though it takes hard work to do it. The
pay Is according TO the quality of the
cigar, from SIS to $35 per 1000. When
the filters are made in a mould, from So
to Sl5 per thousand is paid. After being
made the cigars are taken to another
bench, where they are assorted accord
ing to color, after which they are packed
in boxes, branded, labeled and stamped,
and then they are ready for the market

FARM AND GARDEN.
The blight In Orchards.

A correspondent writes to the Prdirts
Farmer. 81 have had the care of an ap-
pie orchard for more than forty years
and never lost single apple tree In that
length of time from blight. Several
years ago some of my trees were badly
afflicted with blight. The work of cut
ting out the affected wood was too great
for me, consequently left the trees to
live or die. In one or two years from
that time no injury could be seen. Since
then | have paid no attention to it, and
consider it of minor Importance. The
pear blight is quite different, for when il
Kills the new wood it does not stop
there, like the apple tree blight but
goes on to the destruction of the tree.
some varieties of apples are worse
affected than Others, even when they
are all mixed through each other. 1
nave never known the blight to injure
the vitality of tree, but it makes it
look bad,

A Dying Language,

In spite of the efforts of Mr.. Leland
and Others, it would seem that the use of
the old Romany language is dying out
among the gypsies who still wander about
our island. 1t is row the rule for these
Bohemian tribes to speak English among
themselves, and even in the cases in
which the Romany is still talked it is so
mixed up with modern slang as to have
lost nearly all its linguistic significance.
This being so, it is not to be supposed
that the gypsie, will be anxious, as some
of their champions have said, to insure
instruction in Romany for their children
when the latter come under the control
Of the School Board authorities.-Fiaaro

How Much a Man Eats.

1t has been calculated, says Richard
A. Proctor in the Cosmopolitan, that on
the average, each man who attains the
age of three score and ten consumes dur
ing the course of his life twenty wagon
loads of food, solid and liquid. At four
tons to the wagon, this would CORE
spond to an average of about hundred
ounces of food per day, or say some one
hundred and twenty ounces per day dur
ing adult life, and about eighty ounces
during infancy and youth. Most mod
ern doctors agree in regarding one hun
dred and twenty ounces of food per day,
corresponding to five OF six half-pints of
liquid food, and seven OF eight pounds
of solid food, as in excess of the real
daily requirements of healthy man or
woman.
Yet probably most of us take more
than this, in one way OF another, during
the day. Dr. Lancaster, from an extern
sive analysis of the dietary of soldiers,
sailors, prisoners, and the better paid
classes of artisans and professional men
in London, found the average daily
quantity of solid and liquid food to be one
hundred and forty-three ounces Doubt
less many take much less; but unques-
tionably many take much more than this.
When some one mentioned before Sydney
Smith the twenty wagon loads of food
calculated for each mans allowance, he
turned to Lord Durham, who like him
self was corpulent land not without suf-
ficient reason), with the quaint remark
81 think our wagons, Durham, must be
four-hOrsed ones" There are members
of the London Corporation, to seek no
further, whose wagons must be six
horsed ones, and well loaded at that.

The Prince went on the understanding that the thing was to be kept ca tirely secret, whereas in half an hour after the affair was known in all its details in Fleet street. He has done nothing in several years which has called down such a storm of criticism as Is nowraging around his head. Almost every Conformist pulpit has had q ser mon on the scahdalous fact that the future King of England has been hObnobbing with a prize fighter. The radical papers have taken it up. and it is even said that the Queen has written him letter on the subject.
